Research
Products that are not customer or user friendly have no place in the market although they are engineered using the best technology. The interface of the product is as crucial as the internal technology of the product.
A market study is made to identify a potential customer's need. This process is also known as market research. Here, the already existing need and the possible and potential needs that are available in a segment of the society are studied carefully. The market study is done based on a lot of assumptions. Assumptions are the crucial factors in the development or inception of a product's development. Unrealistic assumptions can cause a nosedive in the entire venture. Though assumptions are abstract, there should be a move to develop tangible assumptions to come up with a successful product.
To offer better experience to your user, your product must keep evolving to fulfill user's varied problems efficiently and accurately. Better and safer product is possible only when backed by solid research. IQSPL helps you to create a better product conducting contract research in your product's domain.
Prototyping
We have the ability of moving the invention prototype from the mind’s eye to a reality that will help commercialize the product.
Do you want to see how your product will look like and how it will work before developing it? Yes, it is possible with IQSPL's prototyping service. IQSPL's fast prototyping service will save you from designing a product you may not like design-wise and functionality-wise after it is created. Save your valuable resources through IQSPL Prototyping Service.
Development
The Development Phase is divided into two stages: Construction and Production Readiness. In the Construction Stage, the System Development Manager ensures that all software product subsystems, modules, and components are fully documented, have been coded and tested, and that identified discrepancies have been corrected. The Construction Stage is completed when the Technical Review Board provides approval at Test Readiness Review. Earlier test results are reviewed and operational support arrangements are finalized during the Production Readiness Stage. The Production Readiness Stage ends with successful completion of the Production Readiness Review. This review affirms that Acceptance Testing has been successfully completed and that the software product is suitable for production use.
Application code, databases, database conversion software, interfaces, and code to integrate COTS products are constructed during the Development Phase.

Testing & QA
Testing is done oftentimes in the software life cycle. Time pressure on projects is well known. IQSPL’s testing and QA team comprises of best of class professionals including web security testers. We can help you in finding functional and security defects in early stages and hence save cost. Skipping this security testing really leaves any company with two options. The first is to wait until the application is in production and let a security auditor find defects. The second is to leave the work of finding security defects up to the (malicious) hackers. World has seen scenarios where companies have lost Brand names due to hackers leaking out sensitive information or hacking websites.
Performance Engineering
Performance engineering is the process by which software is tested and tuned with the intent of realizing the required performance. IQSPL has mastered in the analysis of test results generated by various tools used in this process. Analysis of report is both the most important and the most difficult part of performance engineering. We also provide you with the appropriate artifacts. Performance engineering in critical to meet below objectives :
|
|
Increase business revenue by ensuring the system can process transactions within the requisite timeframe |
|
|
Eliminate system failure requiring scrapping and writing off the system development effort due to performance objective failure |
|
|
Eliminate late system deployment due to performance issues |
|
|
Eliminate avoidable system rework due to performance issues |
|
|
Eliminate avoidable system tuning efforts |
|
|
Avoid additional and unnecessary hardware acquisition costs |
|
|
Reduce increased software maintenance costs due to performance problems in production |
|
|
Reduce increased software maintenance costs due to software impacted by ad hoc performance fixes |
|
|
Reduce additional operational overhead for handling system issues due to performance problems |
Porting
Migration of legacy application need not always be a difficult proposition. The objective of application porting is to create an application on a target platform that behaves like the original version, thereby making the application available to an expanded market. Accurate migration and reduced migration time are some of the USPs of IQSPL. Our expertise in Product Engineering Life Cycle is used effectively to mitigate the usual hardships associated with porting. Additionally, we build in increased flexibility to stand you in good stead in the future.
Training
As a leading trainer in Information Technology Security, IQSPL has a competitive advantage over others when it comes to training. With a faculty experienced in a wide spectrum of technologies IQSPL can train your customers in all aspects of your customized product. IQSPL has team of target oriented professionals which brings the most rock-steady software training services and other services. And all they are perfect in their respective fields.
Deployment
Deployment of software is an oft-neglected phase of the product life cycle. We at IQSPL understand how critical deployment is to a project's success. For project goals to be met, it is vitally important that the Project Team carefully plan for the eventual deployment of the system including needed staffing, training, as well as anticipated policy and procedure changes. Moreover, once this planning has been completed it is critically important that the Project Team implement these plans in a coordinated manner as the system or infrastructure system is introduced into the workplace. IQSPL's product deployment service eliminates project delays and deployment failures.
Technical Support
24*7 technical support is an integral part of a product's life cycle. It connects you with your customers. Your customers tell you what they desire from product. Feedback obtained from customers decides the direction of product research. Obviously mediocre technical support will drop important clues that come from customers and will also create dissatisfied customers. IQSPL's technical support will help your customers round the clock and definitely provide valuable input to your research department.
Maintenances
Maintenance consists of four parts. Corrective maintenance deals with fixing bugs in the code. Adaptive maintenance deals with adapting the software to new environments. Perfective maintenance deals with updating the software according to changes in user requirements. Finally, preventive maintenance deals with updating documentation and making the software more maintainable. All changes to the system can be characterized by these four types of maintenance. Corrective maintenance is ‘traditional maintenance’ while the other types are considered as ‘software evolution.’ As products age it becomes more difficult to keep them updated with new user requirements. Maintenance costs developers time, effort, and money. This requires that the maintenance phase be as efficient as possible. There are several steps in the software maintenance phase. The first is to try to understand the design that already exists. The next step of maintenance is reverse engineering in which the design of the product is reexamined and restructured. The final step is to test and debug the product to make the new changes work properly.
IQSPL always strives for value addition in all it does and its maintenance services are no exception. From long term maintenance services to defect tracking, IQSPL will help you in all product maintenance related activities. By preferring to enter into long-term maintenance contracts, IQSPL commits itself to the upkeep of your product at peak performance levels consistently over long periods. It’s our way of saying that we care for quality maintenance – financials notwithstanding.
IQSPL generally don’t take maintenance contracts of the products which IQSPL has not developed itself.
